I have a problem with this script : click here. Currently it’s working perfectly. But if i would run this through the w3 validator it’s not ‘valid’. I also know why this is, it is because the entire div is within a link.

I would like to make this work exactly the same, but also have it score as w3 valid. I have been struggeling for two weeks now with this problem and i (apperently) could use some help with this. Who can help me make this script w3 valid and work exactly like it is working right now.

I would like to keep this in HTML/CSS, i have been trying this in Java as well, but that kept ‘flickering’ with the mouse over.

Thanks a lot for any help, it is really appreciated.

    To get this to work in IE6, you will have to keep the :hover pseudoclass on the <a> tag. In IE7+, Firefox, Chrome, Safari, and I believe Opera, you can place :hover on any tag, and in that case, I would suggest you change the <a> tag to a <div> tag.

    To make it W3C compliant for IE6 functionality, change your <div> tags to <span> tags and put display:block; on the <span> tags and the <a> tag. That way the functionality should not change and you should become W3C compliant, at least within that section.
